## What It Is

VCU Rumble is a premier FRC off-season tournament hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University. Teams from across the region compete in a full FRC-format event using that year's game.

## Why It Matters for 2890

- **Team attended Rumble 10 (2025)** — experience with the event
- **Uses current game year** — REBUILT 2026 will be used for 2026-2027 season
- **Good training ground** — students can practice scouting, match analysis, pit operations
- **Pre-season prep** — bridges off-season to build season

## Training Applications

For students:
- **Scouting practice** — collect match data, observe other teams
- **Match video analysis** — review performance, identify improvements
- **Pit operations** — practice robot maintenance between matches
- **Drive team rotation** — get experience under competition pressure
- **Game strategy** — apply what they learned in training to real matches
